The land is vast
The land is vast, and wealth is here,
But wisdom’s lacking, though the way is clear.
Many lands remain untamed, unplowed,
If not for corruption, much would be allowed.
Where is the strength, where is the might?
Where is the mind, where is the fight?
If a dog doesn’t bite the pants' hem,
Could this land become a paradise then?
The jealous can’t bear the hardworking soul,
Even if they can’t plant a tree, their goal.
A task undone by thousands of hands,
Can one person make it without bands?
Though our weight may be light,
Our dream is to be a nation bright!
Many tasks started, but none complete,
This is why our fingers are in defeat.
